Jimi Hendrix closed 1969 by disbanding the Jimi Hendrix Experience and assembling a new group, the short-lived Band of Gypsys

They debuted in four historic concerts at New York City's Fillmore East — two sets on New Year's Eve, and two more on New Year's Day 1970

The latter shows were combined and edited for the famed Band of Gypsys album in April 1970

The first night's first concert is now getting a proper release as Machine Gun: The Fillmore East First Show 12/31/69

The new album marks the first time the complete early set has been released in any configuration
